Oklahoma City recently beat the Los Angeles Lakers, 114-90. The Thunder were led by Carmelo Anthony. Anthony finished the game with 27 points, on 10 of 15 shooting from the floor. Stephen Adams finished the game with 21 points
Aside from their win against the Lakers, Oklahoma City has been playing balanced all year. Russell Westbrook leads the team in almost every category. He is averaging 24.8 points, 9.7 rebounds and 9.9 assists per game this year. Almost averaging a triple double again this season.

With Russell Westbrook on the Thunder, the team is always in games. The Thunder’s 9-13 road record is something to be concerned with, but expect the Thunder to pull everything together before the playoffs start. Paul George is due for a big game.
Oklahoma City is allowing 100.8 points per game this year. Good enough for third in the NBA this season. Expect another solid team defense performance in this one.
Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cleveland Cavaliers are a team in trouble right now. I understand that every year we talk about how a LeBron James team is in trouble, but this year is different. The Cavaliers don’t have a top 10 player in Kyrie Irving on the court. Instead the Cavaliers are working with a banged up older roster that is prone to injury.
LeBron James can only do so much for Cleveland. He is averaging 27 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists per game this season. James needs someone else to step up and help him shoulder the load. Kevin Love is averaging 19 points and 9.6 rebounds per game. If Isaiah Thomas can stat scoring like his old self, the Cavaliers are going to be a difficult win.

The Cavaliers are a middle of the pack defense this season. Cleveland is allowing 108.6 points per game this year. Good enough for 25th in the NBA this year. Expect Cleveland to be ready. The Cavaliers are 16-5 this year at Quicken Loans Arena.
